At this weekend's WonderCon in San Francisco, I was able to speak with Jackie Earle Haley on the Warner Bros. red carpet, as he was promoting the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Of course we didn't just talk about playing Freddy, as we also discussed his thoughts on the Watchmen director's cut, his FOX show Human Target, his thoughts on fandom and Comic-Con, and a lot more.
And while most red carpet/backstage interviews are only a minute or two, I got a lot of time with Haley and we were really able to talk about things and not just skim the surface. Check it out after the jump. As always, I've broken down what we talked about by time index.
